One look at Harvey Brindell & The Tablerockers tour schedule confirms their status as an in-demand blues band.

It's plain and simple, Harvey Brindell & The Tablerockers play Chicago Blues. This is the real thing, post-war blues of the '40s through '60s - no rock blues, no funk blues, no disco blues, no Americana, or any other watered down or hyped up blues hybrids. Their songlist is heavy with blues standards with songs from the likes of Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wolf, Little Walter, Junior Wells, James Cotton, Billy Boy Arnold, Magic Slim, Lonnie Brooks, John Primer, Little Milton, Magic Sam, Buddy Guy, Lurrie Bell, Fenton Robinson, Otis Rush, Hound Dog Taylor, T-Bone Walker and others. And on any given night you may also catch a set of The Tablerockers original songs. Then throw in some Bo Diddly and of course the required covers of the Kings (BB, Freddie, and Albert) and ..... well, you get the picture. It's all there. The Tablerockers wants to get the crowd dancing.
